Coyotes D Demers, Bissonnette in ASU’s Curtain of Distraction

Jan 31, 2019, 8:45 PM | Updated: 9:46 pm

A special Valley sports cameo was made in Arizona State’s Curtain of Distraction for the big rivalry game against the University of Arizona.

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jason Demers and former Coyotes forward Paul Bissonnette made appearances in the tool used by ASU’s student section to distract opposing free throw shooters.

In an impressive display, Demers and Bissonnette used two different acts during the free throw attempts.

In the first, Bissonnette was wheeled out ala “Silence of the Lambs” with Demers escorting the prisoner.

After a quick make by the Wildcats, the wardrobe change began.

The two quickly undressed and wore what appeared to be Sun Devils wrestling uniforms.

With both putting on headbands, Bissonnette and Demers grabbed printouts of Arizona’s logo and ripped them up. Bissonnette went all out, using his mouth to make sure the deed was done.

Demers has played in 18 games this season as he recovers from a knee injury that has ruled him out indefinitely.
